Fourier spectral methods for numerical modeling of ionospheric processes

Fourier spectral and pseudospectral methods are used in numerical modeling of ionospheric processes, namely macroscopic evolution of naturally and artificially created ionospheric density irregularities. The simulation model consists of two-dimensional electrostatic nonlinear fluid plasma equations...
